What We Think We Know About The PSP2

Tomorrow, January 27, the world is expected to officially greet the PSP2 for the first time at a showcase event in Tokyo. With the real thing's reveal on the horizon, let's look back at what we know about the handheld.

Or, to be more precise, what we think we know.

The PSP2 is expected to be revealed as part of a Sony presentation being held at 3pm Japan time, January 27. We'll be there live-blogging the entire event, so tune in and join us in putting these rumours to bed with some cold, hard facts.

For Americans, that's 1am Eastern on January 27 or 10pm on January 26 Pacific Time. For Europeans, that's 7am on January 27 in Berlin and 6am in London. For Australians, that's 5pm AEDT.

- The PSP2 has dual analogue sticks
- It features a touch-sensitive panel on the rear of the device
- It has a larger screen than the current PSP
- There were two models of the PSP2 in development at Sony, one "sliding" open like a phone and the other a "flat" device like the current PSP. It's unknown which of the two will be unveiled later this week.
